I mounted mine with the regular bolts no problem. the amount you have to take off is minimal 1mm or so. Also your wheels should be able to clear uk brakes or you will need spacers. mine just barely clear my 40 et wheels.

Stock bumper with ccw lip is the best combo, looks like it should have come from the factory that way and will maintain resale walue. tge only aftermarket one I'd even consider is the JDL as it is closest to oem.

had a bit of warpage on the deck when I rebuilt an rb engine.deffo wouldn't hurt to check

Mine too, She's next to me obsessing on how her team is doing, but I did manage to convince her to buy a Supra

As it gets worse with temp and not better it is deffinately not valve stems. I would say turbo seals or rings but since the oil looks good and no smoke from the filler cap it is mostlikely a turbo seal. Good compression results would confirm this.

Be carefull when going from low hp fwd to a high hp rwd, Even an NA can easily catch you out in the wet. Insurance and fuel will not be cheap either

Freudian slip there Paul? hope she doesn't frequent the forum lol

Obama shit was trying to post under arse!

isn't a titan box just upgraded sprags, clutches and shimmed valvebody? I bet SRD could problably do it just as well if not better and cheaper. Lee?

without exhaust scavenging you will be loosing some low and mid range tourqe but should still make more than having the stock cat in so yes. your really long pipes may be able to promote high hpm power! If only I was still back at school and had access to the equipment we had there! If I knew exactly the velocity of the exhaust and could measure the pulses and knew the exact length of the runner I could make an educated guess. an engine dyno is the only sure way to tell. Beautiful work there Scott. I just really hate the stock backbox its restrictive as hell! BTW my n/a auto made 200 rwhp this summer compared to the 150 it put down on the same dyno winter 2009 and 90K kms ago so those headers really work.

Yes it does! More db just not that rushing sound the op was complaining about. Gives it a nice sound at high rpm

the 2jz head flows miles better than the 7m. in the time between them toyota learned alot about resonance tuning. the intake acoustic control valve being a prime example. I am sure that the exhaust gasses exit the ge head faster and with more energy. the 7m also has longer primaries than the 2j with more bends less power = less exhaust gasses @ lower velocity. The long straight pipes is where all your noise is comming from.Your custom exhaust does the job for little money so good work there. if or when you have the time/money/desire look into the obx header for the ge you will get some good power out of it and less resonance. with your skills fabbing a mid pipe to fit the rest of the exhaust will be easy.

I intalled obx headers and a 3 inch exhaust with straight through decat mid pipe and hit 126db at wot. I have been leaving the bung in 90% of the time. in response to your question. Yes the headers make much more noise. your problem is using the really short stock primaries with too long secondaries. the stock setup relies on scavanging the front 3 cylinders from the back 3 and vice versa at the first cat which cuts down on noise hence the almost nonexistent primaries and super short secondaries. an aftermarket uses longer primaries to alow the front 3 and back 3 to scavange of each other. longer secondaries ( but shorter than the primaries) allow the front to back scavanging. This gives you better ve and noise cancellation. With your exhaust you have exhaust pulses traveling in isolation all the way until under the car causing resonance and that is the rushing sound you hear.

Wife:We can't afford the Supra and the baby, You have to sell it. Me: Okay let me go get a sign made up. Sorted! Not my fault she wasn't specific.

Pants

Paddle shift quick relase hub and use whatever steering wheel you feel like

It's called suprastick

Stock supra spoiler is a bit too retro for this car, the retractible one looks good IMO but it does kind of scream to the police "HEY LOOK I WAS JUST EXCEEDING THE SPEEDLIMIT!"

Some useful links importing classic or antique Vehicles

j the law is based on year of manufacture so 93's in 2018, 94's in 2019 etc. The law also states that the car must be totally unmodified! spot on. a us 94 na auto goes for about 9k usd that will drop but not by much as they will be able to add the price of shipping for one in the uk and stil offer a lhd car so if an na auto goes for 3k GBP it is around 4.5 k USD shipping will be at least 2K +customs and tax and thus the final price will be 8.5-9K

I am an American living in Europe in 2018 my 93 turns 25 and I can legally take it back with me. Those of you who have close to stock cars in good shape can expect a huge demand.

Both of our Supras will flatten the batteries in two weeks during the winter if not driven, It is really a 1 minute job to just disconnect the negative terminal if you are not going to use it for a while. Will save your battery and a load of time getting it jump started. My girlfriend's supra started killing batteries and it turned out to be the alternator on the way out, it just wouldn't charge until it was over 3000 rpm so wasn't charging the battery most of the time. Swapped it out and problem went away.

Here is his boss in mine

i've had that picture for years and never even noticed her lol, This was the old Army base in Heidelberg Germany, evrything outside the wire was.... well German. my office was in the a remote corner of the base so I basically had a whole parking lot to myself! in my profile pic I was standing right about where the supra was in that pic and the skyline is totally covered in snow behind the Supra.
